What do you consider Paleo?

Our approach to the Paleo way of eating (after consulting with various Paleo eaters) is that there is no one cookie cutter “Paleo diet.” Paleo eating merely provides you with the framework upon which to build a solid nutritional plan. The foundation of Paleo eating is to eat whole foods andavoid processed foods. Next is to eliminate refined foods. This would include refined grains, whole grains, legumes, packaged snacks, dairy products, certain beverages and sweeteners that are not natural.

What do you use for Sweeteners in your recipes?

In order to make healthier options, we use minimal sweeteners which include: raw honey, pure maple syrup, whole fruits and fruit juice. We use minimal sugar substitutes in our Low Calorie Desserts. We use chocolate that is at least 50% cocoa and is dairy free or cocoa powder in our chocolate desserts.

What is the PREMIUM option? How does is compare to your regular option?

The Premium Menu is all made with local and/or organic meats. To sell a product with an “Organic” label, it must have been made according to a set of government standards andregulations. Not all our meats have this organic label, however if the meat is not organic, it is local (Grass fed beef, free range poultry and eggs, pastured pork andwild and sustainable fish/seafood) which often just means that although they would likely meet the USDA guidelines for Organic, farmers may not have the disposable income to pay for this “official” Organic labeling. Here is a breakdown of the most common meats we use in our Premium Menu compared to the other menus:

Reheating & Packaging Information

Can I freeze the meals?

Most of them, yes! Freeze by the date marked. Obviously some items are not meant to be frozen, such as salads, raw veggies, etc.

Have the meals been frozen?

No! The only exceptions to this are: uncooked specialty meats that are hard to come by and fish that will be served rare.

How do I know if I should eat the meal hot or cold?

This is up to you! We will offer suggestions or helpful hints for some items.

How do I reheat the meals?

If you have a single serving meal, these containers are meant for the microwave, NOT THE OVEN. We recommend 1-3 minutes depending on the meal andyour microwave. If you ordered a Family Meal, these pans are meant for the oven NOT THE MICROWAVE. If you wish to microwave the Family meals, you must transfer the meal to a microwave safe dish first.

How many days are the meals good for?

Our guidelines recommend 7 days, but we are all about FRESH! So we put a 5 day “Eat or Freeze By” date on the meals. (Obviously some meals are not meant to be frozen however…..ie. salads)

What do I do with the containers?

Please recycle or reuse them! Due to food safety regulations please do not return them with your cooler bags.

What if I have food allergies?

We have designed our meal program to allow sorting for the 8 most common food allergies: gluten, dairy, soy, egg, peanut, tree nut, fish & shellfish. The system also allows you to sort by Vegetarian and Paleo. If you have additional allergies, feel free to contact us. We cannot cook specific to each individual allergy, but we may be able to direct you in your meal choices.

What if I have food dislikes?

Most ingredients (especially ingredients often disliked) are listed. If you have many dislikes or allergies, we suggest you order from the Basic Menu.
